Safe Keeping Blog

Tomorrow is Safer Internet Day—a day organized each year by Insafe to promote safe and responsible use of online technology and mobile phones.

This year’s theme, “connecting generations and educating each other,” focuses on how the online world can foster relationships across generations. The theme also highlights how everyone—whether you are 5, 50, or 85—can work together to increase online competence and safety.

iKeepSafe is joining the celebration in the following ways:

Radio Program: Marsali Hancock, iKeepSafe CEO & President, and Robyn Treyvaud, iKeepSafe Director of Global Initiatives, have been invited to participate in the 2012 Safer Internet Day Radio Program. This marathon program lasts all day and also features many other world-renowned experts like Professor Sonia Livingston, David Brown, Tim Loughton, Larry Magid, Lynn Featherstone and more. Not only can the audience listen, but they are encouraged to skype, IM, text, email and even phone in with questions.

Live Facebook Event: Marsali Hancock has been invited to participate in Microsoft and AARP’s live facebook event tomorrow. During the event, Microsoft and AARP will share new research highlighting the use of online technology and devices to communicate across generations. During the event, Microsoft will also answer the public’s online safety questions. Before and during this live social media event, send your questions on Facebook, a direct tweet on @SaferOnline, or via email to saferweb@microsoft.com.

New Resources: iKeepSafe.org’s home page will feature the new resources that iKeepSafe and iKeepSafe’s partners recently created in honor of Safer Internet Day.

We hope you will tune in and enjoy these events and new resources. Together we can enjoy the digital world . . . safely!
